Metal Roof Styles

- Rustic Metal Shingles – Rustic metal offers a plainer look than shake and can be installed over existing shingles due to its lightweight composition.
- Oxford Metal Shingles – Oxford’s smooth appearance is popular with homeowners, and it aids in shedding snow quickly.
- Slate Rock Oxford – Slate rock provides a little more depth than traditional Oxford for a three-dimensional look.
- Grandetile – This metal shingle is designed to give the appearance of traditional barrel tile roofs found in the Southwest.
- Clicklock Standing Seam – This is the traditional metal roof found on most residential homes offering 12” wide seams.

Why Choose a Metal Roof?
When you compare the cost of a metal roof to asphalt shingles, you might wonder why a homeowner would pay more for metal when asphalt provides years of protection and is available in various styles and colors. These are some of the main reasons customers choose metal.
- Durability – A metal roof will cost more upfront than an asphalt shingle roof. However, it will last twice as long and typically have extensive warranties.
- Environmentally Friendly – Metal roofs are made from recycled materials, whereas asphalt shingles are a petroleum product. Also, since asphalt shingles don’t last as long, they require more frequent replacement and generate more waste.
- Energy-Efficiency – Another benefit to offset the higher upfront cost is that homeowners will save on heating and cooling costs over the years with better insulation of a metal roof.
- Style – Since we can paint metal, you can choose a color to match your home perfectly. Even if you go with traditional standing seam metal, you can create a unique look.
